My life, in two tabs.

Browser Tab A: Federal website, because for my summer internship I am classified as a government contractor. Now in addition to my Sheppardian dog tag, I can be a little like Rodney! Or House in the episode with the CIA. Hopefully with less sexual harrassment.

Browser Slot Tab B: Tentacle fic.

Yeah.

.

Finally got to see the last episode of House. The whole time I kept thinking of an article called Reading Minds (PDF) by Ian Parker, which is a fascinating look at the syndrome the episode was all about. It may not have the show's maze of diagnostic turns and dead ends, but it takes a closer -- and I hate to say "more realistic," too, because what do I know about this syndrome, but at least a less wholly optimistic -- look at what it's like to try to communicate with people who have what the PotW did. ( spoilers )

SGA flash-ficlet: "In his room at night, alone," Sheppard fantasy, adult

I forgot to watch House in time, so I wrote this instead. (I hear it's good practice to write things without agonizing over whether they're good enough?) NC-17, PWP, bondage, 505 words. Follows the tentacle fic, but you don't have to read that first. Or, you know, at all.


( Sometimes, John fantasizes about going back to the planet with the tentacle creature. )
